Since DNA sequencing is a blazing hot market, we never did catch up or shift to a more competitive platform and Roche closed the plant."
"454 Life Sciences Inc, as a start-up company founded by Jonathan Rothberg, offered many scientist and engineers a fantastic opportunity to develop the world's first second generation DNA sequencing instrument that used disruptive technology over the then de facto Sanger sequencing standard, in reduced cost and increase in sequencing throughput."
